The Seattle SuperSonics conversation just shifted following the commissioner's announcement ahead of the NBA Cup Finals. Danny Ball, Tim Booth, and Chris Daniels break down why this time feels different.
On this episode of Iconic Sonics, we're joined by Tim Booth (The Seattle Times) and Chris Daniels (KOMO News) to unpack Adam Silver's latest comments on NBA expansion, what's changed since Las Vegas Summer League, and why 2026 has suddenly become a real inflection point for Seattle.
We dive into:
Adam Silver's evolving language around expansion
Why Seattle and Vegas are now clearly the front-runners
What NBA owners actually care about behind closed doors
Media rights, arena politics, and ownership questions
Realistic timelines for when the Sonics could return
Is this real momentum — or another false start? Chris and Tim bring reporting, context, and perspective you won't get anywhere else.
